As a faithful Microsoft user, I have been since I was 7 and first became a computer user, I must tip my hat to Microsoft. However just because I am a fan of the Microsoft computer, because to be honest the mac just confuses me, Apple is a company that is clearly moving mountains. Their products are literally changing the way people look at technology. I have had an iPod since I was 14 and have been seriously considering getting an iPhone since they came out, my goal is to get one for Christmas. As far as I’m concerned the two companies should continue their battle to be on top, that is what leads to new and exciting products like the iPad and Windows 7. One without the other could lead to a plateau of technological advances. Mac VS. PC will never get old in my book.

Bill Gates is someone who has always been the face for Microsoft. He has been in the public eye as an innovator for years while Steve Jobs left Apple for awhile he is now the official face of the company. Steve Jobs is becoming more and more to Apple what Bill Gates is to Microsoft even though that has not always been the case. It does seem that in terms of management Steve Jobs has been doing a more hands on job with Apple. Bill Gates and his wife Melinda started the Bill and Melinda Foundation dedicated to education, health care and fighting poverty and that is where we have seen his focus in the past few years. Steve Jobs is clearly dedicated to the success of Apple even in his illness. While I will probably always use a PC instead of a Mac (maybe) I have great respect for the job Steve Jobs has done in terms of saving and revamping the company.
